Hayate no Gotoku: Can’t Take My Eyes off You (1st-9th Episodes)

I don’t remember why I decided to watch Hayate this season. I mean, I never watch the two previous seasons and I’ve read only a few chapters of the manga.

I guess I just wanna give it a try.

The story itself, mainly focused on the new character, Tsugumi Ruri, who claimed that she is Nagi’s little sister from (maybe) another mother. Old characters, such as Nagi, Hayate, and Maria also become main focus in this season. Hinagiku appears in several episodes (I think it is natural ‘coz Hinagiku is a popular character of this series), as well as other Nagi’s friends (too lazy too type them all :D).

The side storis in this series is the character development between Hayate and Hinagiku, Hinagiku’s sister, and several flashback stories about how Nagi’s parents met.

From this point, I’ll be straightforward.

[WARNING: Broken English and MAY CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS.]

Tsugumi main goal is to obtain one of Sanzenin’s heritages, Kuro Tsubaki (Black Camelia). Tsugumi tried to come closer to Nagi, practically by using Nagi’s favorites: game, anime, manga.

Nagi herself didn’t care about Tsugumi, but she let Tsugumi lives in an old house outside the mansion.

One day, Nagi tricked Tsugumi to reveal her true objective. Later, they learned that the Black Camelia was stolen by Nagi’s father and then his father died in a car accident. The Black Camellia is a gold pocket watch that brings bad luck to its owner, except if both hands of the clock strike to eight. After that, a storm came and Tsugumi saved Nagi when she was almost hit by a fallen tree.

Several days before, Nagi got news from American Las Vegas police department that her father’s possession is being kept by the police. The police also told her to retrieve the item within 10 days (if I’m not mistaken._.v). Tsugumi tried to go there, by persuading Nagi, participating in a quiz, and even plotting a fake kidnapping act.

Although Hayate and Nagi realized the fake kidnapping as soon as they read the ransom note, they still went to Vegas. After retrieved the Black Camelia, they were waiting for the appointment time, but the Black Camelia brought them series events of bad luck.

Even though they were in Vegas, they were reunited with their friends through various circumstances, as if they were drawn by the fate. Hayate and friends ran into some events before confronted Tsugumi, whom accompanied by a woman (apparently Tsugumi's mother) and a birdman that once attacked Tsugumi. The woman took Nagi as the hostage. Hayate and the other friends (divided into 3 groups) searched for the Black Camelia, which was stolen from him due to the bad luck curse.

At the end of 9^th episode, Tsugumi tried to take the Black Camelia from the thief, but suddenly a sword was pointed at her. Hayate saved her and getting stabbed instead.
